Hi,
I've removed every other pkg which might require Python-2.7,
but am stuck with this :
root:605 ~> emerge -cpv python:2.7
Calculating dependencies... done!
dev-lang/python-2.7.18-r1 pulled in by:
dev-lang/spidermonkey-60.5.2_p0-r4 requires
>=dev-lang/python-2.7.5-r2:2.7[ncurses,sqlite,ssl,threads]
www-client/firefox-68.10.0 requires
dev-lang/python:2.7[ncurses,sqlite,ssl,threads(+)]
Yes, I've looked in package.use & in the ebuilds
& can't find any source of these requirements : can anyone help ?
The dependencies on python2.7 are being added by the mozcoreconf
eclasses. The firefox requirement is in eclass/mozcoreconf-v6.eclass,
spidermonkey has essentially the same thing but in -v5.eclass
I'm down to (9) or so. Periodically, I use this command to see where I am::
eix --installed-with-use python_targets_python2_7
and in the top of my package.use I have::
*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: python3_6 python3_7 python3_8 python3_9
*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_7
*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: -python2_7
There are many variants on these approaches, depending on how
aggressively you want to get rid of python 2_7.
Me, palemoon is my fav browser and it seems to be long term stuck on
python 2.7...... Any suggests on a more secure, feature rich browser
other than palemoon would be interesting to me to at least test.
But, this is a system, with thousands of packages from gentoo
(gentrified) proper, and dozens of other hacks.
and dozens of my own (rev-5) ebuilds I'm too lazy/stupid to update to
(rev-7). If I were only smarter and motivated......
As I age, I'm getting lazier; and that includes all things gentoo....
hth,
James
